You've heard about a Boeing suicide, no we have new age OpenAI suicide.

People love mocking Russians when their "leaders" fall out of windows, but where are these people when corpos kill plebs within US?

As someone living in Russia, we don't do this window joke. We joke about sugar in Ryazan (aka Putin blows up houses), we joke about 146%, we joke about poisoned tea.

There's also been a story of a group of anarchists trying to build some kind of an organization and reproducing "Lord of the Flies" in process, resulting in murders of two of them and the rest trying to cover it up, it's still not certain that the one who came clear is in fact the murderer ; interesting that those murders were the only thing to interest law enforcement until a few years later, when the group as a whole formally not breaking any laws stopped being a hindrance. Point being - there are sometimes suspicions that groups like this are often intentionally created by FSB agents or whatever, to attract people likely to feel this way.

And when I was reading about where the window joke comes from, it's about a couple of scientists falling out of windows about the same time. I suppose with the defense-related (and in general strategic projects) corruption there could be some principled positions leading to murders covered up as suicides.

Weren't there two boing suicides? Or the second one was something more creative, I think.

Second one had enough plausible deniability to permit neo lib regime whores to label it as a "conspiracy theory"

They will pretend that the first one did not happen or that it was a fluke in the system of "democracy"

You assumed it was about being fair. People just like to shit on russia to distract from internal problems, it was never about the "people falling out of the window" thing.
